What is 5x-(x-2)>2x-4(x-8)

x > 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Equation at the end of step 1 :

(4x + 2) - (2x - 4 • (x - 8)) > 0

Step 2 :

Step 3 :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1 Pull out like factors :

6x - 30 = 6 • (x - 5)

Equation at the end of step 3 :

6 • (x - 5) > 0

Step 4 :

4.1 Divide both sides by 6

Solve Basic Inequality :

4.2 Add 5 to both sides

x > 5

if x = 1, then the answer is 3.5
